Authors: Aaron J. Gassmann (Iowa State University) , Patrick J. Weber (Iowa State University)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Bt corn, with and without soil insecticides, for management of corn rootworm. Evaluation of Bt hybrids included Agrisure 3000GT, Agrisure 3122 RIB, DeKalb YieldGard VT3, and Pioneer Optimum AcreMax1. Soil insecticides evaluated were Aztec 2.1G, Aztec-SB 4.67G, Capture LFR 1.5SC, Counter-SB 20G, Force 250CS, and SmartChoice-SB 5G.
